The indianapolis Election Crooks.

CnlcagO journal
The trial of the Indianapolis election crooks
is as much an event Of national interest as the
trial of similar rascals in Chicago two years
ago. 1t is to be hoped that the men who de-
frauded the franchise in Indiana will meet the
fate of 10 Mackin and will be compelled to
serve out their time felons.
There are. however. sinister and scaudalous
reports from the neighborhood of the Ipdianapo-
lis court where the trial is progress 1t is to
be hoped that the rumors without founda-
ton. 1t is alleged. however, that enough polti-
cal friends of the balotbox stoffers have secured
places the jury to render the result doubtful,
OF to cause abortive trial, it, in rendering
their verdict, they should far disregard their
duty and their oaths TO be guided by Derson~i
and political prejudices, instead of by the l.
and evidence.
What is needed in this country is n terrible
example in each State aud community of the
punishment that is certain to follow such public
crimes as frauds the ballot-box. Doodle ras-
calities. and socialistic violations of the laws
that protect society. In New York and Chicago
juries have done their duty in the various trials
involving these crimes. Let that Indianapolis
jury confound the seandalous rumors that the
friends of the election crooks have placed in
circulation. ana let them show that the admin
istration of justice there is prompt and eff
cient as III the seaboard or Western metropolis.

An Ability to Keep His Own Counsel Lead
ing Characteristic.
Philadelphia Press
There is little in Stanley's appearance and
nothing in what he writes to show the quality
which has given him success for twenty years
I asked Mr.. Lawrence Goodrich, now in Phila-
deIphia. who has had remarkable record him
self in African exploration, and has been in
Stanfeys company. just what it was in this
along. He never tells anybody his plans"
said Mr.. Goodrich; the who
started with him from London
did not know that they going to enter
from the west instead OF from the east They
do not know now that after reaching Emin Bey
and Wadelai that he intends to send Emin Bey
back with part of his force aud go on himself by
an entirely new circuit in African exploration
This has always been Stanleys plan. He tells
nearly as possible nothing going on day after
day through the wilderness. letting mis- men
learn his plans as they take shape. He is apt to
be bitterly unpopular with his subordinates, no
unusual thing with explorers. A recent dispatch
said that he was forced at Lsopoldvllle to take
probably means that he has had to have two
three shot. This unpopularity has stood in the
way of Stanley ever becoming governor OF the
Congo Free State, but he has been wiser or
more selfish than other African explorers. He
is reputed TO have quite a little money out of
the ivory trade on the Congo. which he was able
to do before others lad reached the same traffic
To this fortune Mr.. Stanley will be able to add
$4,000 which he will receive from Bent
ley. the London publisher, for the book which
he is about write about his present trip.
This is very large sum to get for single
work. Thackeray made over $50, 900 for
one Of his books Wilkie Collins got $26.
900 for Armadae George Eliot $40 900 for
Middlemarch. Dickens got more than Thack-
cray, but far from much for any work
Stanley. Scott. however received $40, 900
for Woodstock. There is a big drop below this,
Lord Lytton getting only 50. 900 for his earlier
novels. One must turn TO the histories for any
thing like Stanly's price. Macaulay getting
single check of $780, 600 for the first volume of
his history, but Macaulay left estate of
$500, 900 and he died with all the profits of his
work about him, while Mrs. Grant has received
$494 900 for General Grants memoir. This

Grass Management.

Breeders Gazette.
There is no time when good management of
the grass lands tells more strongly than In
period of drought. If the land is in good heart
and condition the roots penetrate TO a create
depth than on povertystrcken, shallow soils
which have little plant food near the surface and
less below. With good depth of we'll prepared
soil the roots are encouraged to go down. and of
course IN proportion as the roots penetrate the
soil the grass above can support the trials of
dry season. Good drainage is another means oe
encouraging grasses to take a deeper root, for If
excess of moisture is kept away from the
surface the roots of plants are made to reach the
deeper for it. and to a measurable extent ach
the plants independent of the vicissitudes of
drought or flood at the surface. Consideri ng
the inequality of the seasons there is nothing to
which attention be more probably given
than to establishing the grasses under all the
conditions most favorable to the strongest
